where is the disc opening on this computer?

There is no optical drive (CD or DVD). You can buy an external drive and plug that if you need to use discs for some reason.

At the top right hand side of the unit is a vertical button push it in and the cd drive should open.

The CD eject is on the front of the PC about 2 inches from the top on the right hand side. It is about an inch long, thin and silver. It also has the eject symbol above it.

There is not any disk exposed. It's a regular SATA hard drive, which I am using right now. Probably you are having an optical illusion :)

The DVD drive is on the right side toward the back. If you look at the pictures and look at the right side and magnify it you can see the button. Hope that helps.

Right above the Dell Insignia there's a button with nodules, you press there and the Disk E Drive comes out, you load the CD, then slightly press to close, and that's it!

There are three bays in front. The top one has the DVD. The bottom one has the Hard Drive. The middle one is open, but maybe the hard drive could go somewhere else. I don't know, I don't want to open up the case at the moment. But you have one without any modifications.

No disc required. Plug and play. Win 7 pro. your POS should find it. Just swipe it.

I am also looking for it also. I need to move my scanner to a new computer and can not find my install disk

I came here looking for a solution, thanks to these answers I found my product key printed on the installation disc itself. It was the only place I hadn't looked, as the disc was in my computer when I needed the key.

If you are using a Mac. When you insert a CD/DVD it will show up on the Desktop. You can drag the disc to the trash to eject.

On the front, lower right of the computer, near the bottom and to the right of the center insert that runs from the top-you will see a small white triangle. When you depress the triangle the panel directly above that will swing open and your CD mechanism is located there.

There isnt a disc drive on this computer. Odd, I know. But i think the more techy things are getting, things like that are phasing out on laptops.

I had the same issue when I first got the keyboard. There is not an eject button on the device, so the easiest way to get around it is to put an item on the menu bar to eject CDs and DVDs. To do this, open a Finder window and navigate to /System/Library/Core Services/ Menu Extras.Double-click the Eject.menu item in the Menu Extras folder. This will add an eject icon your menu bar. It will look like a pyramid with a straight line underneath. Click on it and it will allow you to open your drive.

Not a silly question. The side with the writing is the "up" side of the disc. My desktop sits on its left edge, so there is no "up" and half the time I put a disc in backward. The writing should be on the same side as the "up" side of the front of your drive where it says "DVD" or whatever. Put the blank side toward the button that ejects your drive and you should be good.

There is a button on the far right at the top it looks like an eject button press that and the whole screen will slide down and out . Then you will see the slot where you put the dvds and cds.

There are 3 "doors" on the upper part of the face plate just above the Dell insignia. The bottom one has two USB connections,plugs for a microphone and era phones and a SD card. the one in the middle is empty and the top one has the cd/dvd drive in it. The bottom and middle can be opened by wedging a fingernail along the side and then pulling back to open. The top one has a button on the right side, just push and the drive will open.
